The West Virginia University Women’s Track program in conjunction with USATF-West Virginia and WVSSAC will host an official’s clinic February 4^th in Room 251 at the WVU Coliseum. The clinic is scheduled from 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM. The clinic will be presented by Richard Messenger, Officials Certification Chair, of USATF-West Virginia who is also the WVSSAC Track & Field Rules Interpreter. He will be able to certify anyone who wants to become a high school or college track official. There is no cost for the clinic but anyone wanting to become a certified official needs to bring a check for registration.

The cost to become a high school official is $40. Those checks are payable to: WVSSAC. WVSSAC Track Official Packets, which include the National Federation rulebooks, will be available at the clinic.

To be certified as a college or open official, you will need to become a member of USATF which costs $30 for 1year, $55 for 2 years, $80 for 3 years or $100 for 4 years. You will also pay a $30 fee to USATF-WV for the official’s certification which is good for the Olympiad. All USATF officials are required by United States Olympic Committee to complete SafeSport Training as well as a background check. That information will be provided via a handout at the clinic.
